Democrats post larger monthly voter registration gain than Republicans for the first time since 2021
TALLAHASSEE, FL – Florida Democrats added 29,633 active registered voters from September to October, outpacing Republicans, who added 29,140. According to Decision Desk HQ’s Michael Pruser, this marks the first time since he began tracking Florida voter registration in mid-2021 that Democrats have posted a larger monthly net gain than Republicans.
The shift comes just days before Florida’s October 5 voter registration deadline for the November 3 general election and follows years of year-round organizing by the Florida Democratic Party and local Democratic organizations across the state.
“For years, Republicans have pointed to voter registration as proof that Florida belongs to them. This month, Florida voters sent a different message,” said Florida Democratic Party Chair Nikki Fried. “Floridians are tired of paying more for groceries, gas, housing, and insurance while Republicans in Tallahassee and Washington make life harder for working families.
“We’ve spent years rebuilding this party from the ground up. Our organizers are in communities year-round, our volunteers are knocking doors across this state, and Democrats are having real conversations with Floridians about what’s at stake. The momentum is real, and with Election Day just weeks away, we’re not taking our foot off the gas.”
Floridians can register to vote or update their registration at www.floridadems.org/vote through Monday, October 5.
